This is too funny for words.

Some pinko social worker has been bitten by a rabid dog that she brought to the UK from Sri Lanka:

Saving Sri Lankan street CHILDREN I could understand. But bloody dogs??

I had seen that headline but never read the article ! Dogs from Sri Lanka !!!

Big business here, too. Usually dogs from Mediterranean tourist destinations like Greek island, Mallorca or Ibiza.

Some apparently discovered that exporting dogs back to their wealthy but cold home countries pays them nicely and without exaggerated efforts an easy living under the warm Southern sun, dogs multiply by themselves, no need to manufactor or do other kinds of tiring work...

The phrase, reaping what you sow comes to mind.

It is pretty reckless petting strange cats and dogs in hot foreign countries like Southern Italy, Spain and Greece. But countries like Turkey and further afield?

A few years back a female back packer died from rabies after being bitten by a rabid dog in India.

Rescuing dogs from Sri Lanka and bringing them to England . . . I am sure there are some misguided people in the US of A doing something equally stupid. At least I don't know of it!
